Love seeing the progression. Each part brings out more of the bat. Appropriate music.

It took me practice and repetition, but I am pleased with the result till now. Thank you for your clear explanation of the whole process. I learned a lot.

Thank you for going a little darker with your initial outline

I like your content and your delivery. Glad i found you . W ill get the Loomis book.

very good lesson Sr ! Thank you very much !!!

Nice and beautiful 🎉🎉🎉 5:58

I really enjoyed this video on leaves. Tu

Very good

I find the easier way to draw the head is to draw it as a box. It's basically the George Bridgeman method, but there's a really good gumroad course on it by reubenlara that's his website as well if you Google it. It should be on the front page of his website. I learned a lot and it's only 10 bucks. He also has a KZbin channel on here

Nice! I liked the demonstration on how to use the direction of the different sections of fur to indicate the solid 3-D body underneath. It's more than just shading. Great video, thanks!

❤❤thank you, very helpful

A blending stump is not the same as a tortillon. A tortillon is made of rolled paper, and also comes in different sizes. A tissue wrapoed around a finger works very well for blending, also, especially for large areas.

❤❤❤❤❤❤awesome

Thanks! Very useful tutorial and a very peaceful video.

Thank you for this! 😊

Thanks. Very instructive.

I really like sketching with blending stumps. The first pass then go in with light pencil

this music is heavenly

My daily routine is 1.Lines and elipses - 10 mins 2. Cubes in perspective and rotated - 20 min 3. Gesture drawings

I still can't do perspective to the point I'm wondering if I have brain damage.

I didn’t know different folds have different names 😅 very cool!

❤thank you so much for sharing ❤

thx

I'm also trying to learn to draw. I found michael hampton on youtube, and he has many videos that compliment his book. It helped me with understanding the 3d forms and planes. I hope this helps. Keep up the great work 😁

I’m learning fundamentals.. I took online courses and watched multiple Ty tutorials but everytime I will be following the tutorials and not try the principles by myself which just make me forget everything I learned..it’s frustrating:(.. your tips is good I will try it

I have just started learning art and I do the tonal Practice and lines, circles, curves gradient shading(tough) . But not objects like it’s mentioned in the video. Will try drawing all of that hope I can do it properly ❤😊thank you for this routine I really needed this to be consistent and motivated

After being terrified of drawing people for decades, my desire to paint my son (14) overcame the fear. I started learning using the Loomis method three days ago. I found most KZbin lessons a little frustrating, so I've just invested in the book. I'm very excited to begin this journey!

👍

Had me hooked within the first ten seconds. How could I not subscribe...?🥺

Hey, Just using the Loomis method while learning to draw a portrait makes the head plane instead of a 3D object. If you combine the Loomis method and The planes of the head, you will get a faster and better understanding of the head. In the beginning, learning with male reference makes it easy to see the planes of the face, and choosing to concentrate on a single angle and the face elements is a better way to improve quickly. 😁

Appreciate your method thank you

Really interested and helpful thank you so much

Your opening lines and the mentioning of your boy leads trears in my eyes.... I am spell bound to see your resilience....

Cats. I want to draw cats. I draw most days for hours but I can’t draw cats

I’ve always wondered about stumps. Thanks. I’ve subscribed.😊

Thank you

Will try.

the music, your voice, and way of teaching are so relaxing! and great info!

Very very important video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the information

I actually use my various stumps just the way you described. 🫠

What do you use to clean or reshape/sharpen your stump?

This video is a start of many that will show my process of this special artistic journey of healing, remembering, and honoring a loved one. Subscribe and follow to share this journey with me. Thank you!

Thank you so much I really learnt something new from your video.

Wonderful!

I was able to hold it together until the very end 😢what a beautiful way to honor your son’s memory and make him part of your family story! ❤

So clear with easy steps to take to get started @theartistnamed You reminded me of my own artistic past with this thoughtful and educational video. From age 3 to my mid twenties I used to draw ALL OF THE TIME - and I now know that was due to my ADHD hyperfocus that wasn't diagnosed until recently 😄 I had forgotten how art can help us to process big emotions but your video reminded me of that. It reminded me of my own processing and that it is time to include art as a personal journal of my life again in order to process my ADHD / Hunter Type brain self-discovery among other things 😉 It is always difficult to lose a child no matter at what stage of the pregnancy or age of their life. Thank you for sharing your personal story to help others learn how to process their own grief and trauma through art ❤

Very inspiring. Thank you !!
